The King of Spain is going to give q

qured the art of walking, and he is
naturally anxious to display his skill
before II larger circle than that in which
he usually moves. 1t is stated that, in
honor of the occasion, his Majesty will
wear his "iirst short frock," and tho
fact that he has never worn one before
certainly makes his ability to walk all
the more creditable. There will be u

He will stand ut the door and present
the guests with picturesque memoran-

him, ready to receive him into hsr pro-
tecting arms il he is tired by being so

A QUEER LITTLE FELLOW.
One who Doesn't Have Any Thing to

One who Doesn't Have Any Thing to
Learn and who Commences to Build
When He is n Day Old.
Isn't it queer little fellow who
knows every thing as soon as he's born
and builds house for himself before
he's one day oldp
Every thing about him is curious. To
begin with, he lives at the bottom of q
pond or river. At first he was nothing
but tiny atom of green egg,
stuck to the stem or weeds
under the water. After awhile
the egg burst open. out crawled the
worm and proceeded at once to look
for building materials.
You sec, except in his head and neck,
which are protected by a hard cover
ing, he is soft little worm, and he
wouldn't live long in the same pond
with fish and bugs and spiders, who
have nothing to do but eat and are al
ways hungry, unless he had safe
thing to building. He hunts up the
dead leaves and CLUES them together in
such way as to leave u nice cozy house
between. It's perfectly safe. for who
would suspect an old dead leaf of being
anybody's house?
No sooner is the house done than the
worm moves in. He doesn't have to
wait for painters and furniture men
happy fellow! he just goes in and fas-
tens himself there by means of pair
of hooks he has at the end of his tail,
and he's ready to live. The next thing
is something to eat. So he starts off.
taking his house with him, to hunt up
some bits of green stuff or some atom
of worm smaller than he is.
But strange things happen to this bit
of worm at the bottom of the pond.
His life is full of wonderful adventures.
If he were bigger he would be the Won
der of the wo rid.
And eating as much rs he can, the
worm thinks it is time to retire from
the gay world; so he finishes his house
by hanging before it n silk door-no
loose curtain but tightly woven net
work, which he spins and fastens care
fully on every side.

ical little home, or what he does, no.
body knows, because nobody can peep
in, you know. But something goes on
there in the dark; for after while the

out of his house, crawls up the stem OF

The Last Of the Puppy.

A Connecticut paper, mentioning the
purchase of fine Gordon puppy" by
IL gentleman named Haas, added: "On
Thursday he went away to work, leav-
ing the puppy in the barn. He did not
get back till eight o'clock in the even
ing, and while he was putting out his
horses the puppy ran out into the barn
yard. In few minutes Haas heard it
yelping piteously. Thinking that one
of the cattle had either hooked it or
stepped on it, he ran out just in time to
see II huge horned owl flying off with
the puppy in his claws. He ran after
him, hallooing, but the owl swooped of
through an orchard, and this was the
last he has since seen of his Gordon
puppy Golden Days.

Not a Very Fierce Dog.

A Canadian paper adds another to
the long list of instances which show
how the canine instinct approaches hui
man intelligence:
"A lad was crossing the fields in the
country, some distance from any dwell
ing, when he was pursued by large
and fierce dog belonging to the gentle
man whose land he was crossing. The
lad was alarmed and ran for his life.
He struck in piece of woods, as the
dog gained on him, when he looked
around to see how near the creature
was, and, tumbling over stone, he
pitched over precipice and broke his
leg. Unable to move, and at tho
mercy of the beast, the poor fell
low saw the dog coming down upon
him, and expected to be seized
and torn, when, to his surprise the dog
came near, and, perceiving the boy was
hurt, instantly wheeled about and went
for that aid which he could not render
himself. There was no one within
reach of the child's voice. and he must
have pcrished there, or else have drag
ged his broken limb along and destroy
ed it, so as to render amputation nee
essary, if the dog had not brought up
help. The dog went up to the nearest
house and barked for help. Not re-
ceiving attention, he made another
visit of sympathy to the house, there
making such demonstrations of ankle
ty that the family followed him to the
place where the child lay"

A Curiosity Of commerce.

Along the northeast coast Of Africa,
south OF Cape Guard Ifui, there are no
towns worth mentioning for some hun
dreds Of miles. The Somali natives who
live along the coast have had scarcely any
dealings with white traders. A little
while g a smart firm in Alden made up
their minds that by maintaining regular
communications with this coast they
would be able to build upa good trade.
They therefore bought a little steam yes
eel and sent their agents along the coast
20 tell the natives that at certain times. II
they would look out on the sea, they would
see a steamer coming, laden with beauti.
ful goods, to give them in exchange foI
hides, palm oil and the other products Of
the Somali region.
The Little vessel has now made several
trips, and the experiment has proved a
great success. knowing that they may
expect the steamer at the date fixed, the
natives for many miles in the interior flock
20 the shores at different points where the
vessel stops A large crowd well bur.
dened with objects Of exchange await the
steamer, which anchors off the coast while
trading boats put ashore, and a lively
market is soon in progress where a few
hours before nothing could be seen but
the wide stretching sands that border this

Night Work and Day Labor.

I think the judgments formed at night
are never so solid and fresh as judgments
formed in the morning. II In the morn
ing a man is without charity, IL he is de-
spondent, IL he is dull, II he is unnerved,
you may be sure hat he is living wrong.
For the order of nature is that a man
should rise from his bed in the morning
as birds rise, singing, and in perfect
health. A man rises buoyant, and has
his best hours in the early day. For al
though, perhaps, the fancy may not be so
brilliant in the early day the judgment is
better. The conclusions and determine
tons which a man forms in the early
day are apt to be sounder and safer than
those which he forms at night. Fancy
for the night, judgment for the day.
And / would say to every young person
whom it concerns, form, If il is a possible
thing, the habit OF doing your study in
the day time, and reserve your nights for
lighter tasks, and keep early hours with
your bed. You do not profit Il do o
care who your exemplar Isl by departing
from the great influences and laws of
nature. There is many and many a man
that wears out prematurely because,
without one single nutritious or vicious
habit, he grinds his life out by night

back to the experiment wa the discovery
